Further, preferably, the dielectric layer 45 is used as another material layer as in the present embodiment. However, a material layer other than the dielectric layer 45 may be used as the other material layer.
- the filter characteristics in the module device can be improved. This will be described with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the filter characteristics by the filter chip in the module device of the third embodiment, and the solid line shows the result of the third embodiment.

- the solid line in FIG. 6 is the result when polyimide is used as the dielectric layer 45.

Therefore, it is preferable to provide the dielectric layer 45 as described above.

Conventionally, various module devices in which one or more electronic component chips are mounted on a module substrate have been proposed. Patent Document 1 below describes a structure in which a surface acoustic wave chip is mounted on a circuit board as a module board. This surface acoustic wave chip has a columnar conductor that is not electrically connected to the IDT electrode. This columnar conductor is exposed to the module substrate side. That is, the columnar conductor in an electrically floating state is exposed on the side facing the circuit board of the surface acoustic wave chip. The columnar conductor is joined to the ground pad on the circuit board by solder or the like. Thereby, the bonding strength of the surface acoustic wave chip to the circuit board is increased.

For this reason, in the module substrate, there is a restriction on the arrangement of the signal wiring in the surface acoustic wave chip mounting region.

The filter chip 11 has a piezoelectric substrate 13 as a chip substrate. The piezoelectric substrate 13 is made of a piezoelectric single crystal such as LiTaO 3 or LiNbO 3 . Instead of the piezoelectric single crystal, piezoelectric ceramics may be used.
圧電基板13のモジュール基板2と対向している側の主面13a上に設けられている電極構造を図3に底面図で示す。主面13a上には、機能電極部14が設けられている。機能電極部14は、本実施形態では、複数のIDT電極を有し、帯域通過型の弾性表面波フィルタを構成している。もっとも、本発明において、機能電極部14の電極構造は特に限定されず、フィルタ回路を構成する適宜の電極構造を用いることができる。
The electrode structure provided on the main surface 13a on the side facing the module substrate 2 of the piezoelectric substrate 13 is shown in a bottom view in FIG. A functional electrode portion 14 is provided on the main surface 13a. In the present embodiment, the functional electrode unit 14 includes a plurality of IDT electrodes and constitutes a band-pass surface acoustic wave filter. However, in the present invention, the electrode structure of the functional electrode portion 14 is not particularly limited, and an appropriate electrode structure constituting the filter circuit can be used.
機能電極部14に、引き出し電極16a,16c~16fの一端が接続されている。引き出し電極16a,16c~16fの他端は、チップ側電極ランド17a,17c~17fに接続されている。チップ側電極ランド17a,17c~17fに、前述したバンプ11a,11c~11fが接合されている。ここで、バンプ11a,11cは、信号配線5又は6に電気的に接続されている第1のバンプである。この第1のバンプ11a,11cは、チップ側電極ランド17a,17cを介して、機能電極部14に接続されている。
, One end of each of the extraction electrodes 16a, 16c to 16f is connected to the functional electrode portion 14. The other ends of the extraction electrodes 16a and 16c to 16f are connected to the chip side electrode lands 17a and 17c to 17f.

これに対して、チップ側電極ランド17bは、機能電極部14に電気的に接続されていない。第3のバンプ11bは、チップ側電極ランド17b上に設けられている。従って、第3のバンプ11bは、機能電極部14に電気的に接続されていない、いわゆる浮きバンプである。ここで、浮きバンプとは、フィルタチップ11において、信号電位やグラウンド電位に電気的に接続されておらず、電気的に浮いた状態にあるバンプをいうものとする。第3のバンプ11bは、図1及び図2に示したように、上述した実装領域内において、信号配線5に接合されている。
On the other hand, the chip-side electrode land 17b is not electrically connected to the functional electrode portion 14. The third bump 11b is provided on the chip side electrode land 17b. Therefore, the third bump 11 b is a so-called floating bump that is not electrically connected to the functional electrode portion 14. Here, the floating bump is a bump which is not electrically connected to the signal potential or the ground potential in the filter chip 11 and is in an electrically floating state. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the third bump 11 b is bonded to the signal wiring 5 in the mounting region described above.

2, the support layer 18 made of an insulating material is provided on the main surface 13a of the piezoelectric substrate 13 in the portion where the chip side electrode lands 17b, 17c, and 17f are provided. A through hole is provided so as to penetrate the support layer 18. The support layer 18 is made of a synthetic resin or an inorganic insulating material.

A cover member 20 is provided on the front end side of the support layer 18. The cover member 20 is made of a synthetic resin or an inorganic insulating material. A portion surrounded by the cover member 20 and the support layer 18 is a hollow portion and sealed. The functional electrode portion 14 described above is located in this hollow portion.
他方、図2に示すように、支持層18及びカバー部材20を貫通するように貫通孔が設けられている。この貫通孔内に、アンダーバンプメタル層19が設けられている。アンダーバンプメタル層19は、チップ側電極ランド17b,17c,17f上に設けられている。アンダーバンプメタル層19は、金属もしくは合金からなる。
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a through hole is provided so as to penetrate the support layer 18 and the cover member 20. An under bump metal layer 19 is provided in the through hole. The under bump metal layer 19 is provided on the chip side electrode lands 17b, 17c, and 17f. The under bump metal layer 19 is made of a metal or an alloy.
アンダーバンプメタル層19上に、前述した第3のバンプ11b,第1のバンプ11c及び第2のバンプ11fが設けられている。
On the under bump metal layer 19, the above-described third bump 11b, first bump 11c, and second bump 11f are provided.
フィルタチップ11は、上述したように、圧電基板13と、支持層18と、カバー部材20とを有する、いわゆるWLP型のパッケージ構造を有する。そして、バンプ11a~11fを用いて、フェイスダウン方式で、フィルタチップ11はモジュール基板2上に実装されている。
As described above, the filter chip 11 has a so-called WLP type package structure including the piezoelectric substrate 13, the support layer 18, and the cover member 20. The filter chip 11 is mounted on the module substrate 2 in a face-down manner using the bumps 11a to 11f.
もっとも、本発明において、フィルタチップは、WLP構造を有するものに限らない。CSP構造などの適宜のパッケージ構造を有するフィルタチップを用いることができる。
However, in the present invention, the filter chip is not limited to one having a WLP structure. A filter chip having an appropriate package structure such as a CSP structure can be used.
本実施形態の特徴は、上記浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bが、実装領域内において信号配線5に接合されていることにある。これを、図1を参照してより詳細に説明する。
The feature of this embodiment is that the third bump 11b which is the floating bump is joined to the signal wiring 5 in the mounting region. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
信号配線5は、フィルタチップ11と、電子部品チップ12とを電気的に接続するように、モジュール基板2の上面2a上に設けられている。信号配線5は、信号電流が流れる配線である。
The signal wiring 5 is provided on the upper surface 2 a of the module substrate 2 so as to electrically connect the filter chip 11 and the electronic component chip 12. The signal wiring 5 is a wiring through which a signal current flows.
第1のバンプ11aは、機能電極部14に電気的に接続されており、信号が、第1のバンプ11aから信号配線5に流れ、電子部品チップ12に接続されているバンプ12aに至る。
The first bump 11a is electrically connected to the functional electrode portion 14, and a signal flows from the first bump 11a to the signal wiring 5 to reach the bump 12a connected to the electronic component chip 12.
他方、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bは、機能電極部14及びグラウンド電位に接続されていない。しかしながら、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bもまた、信号配線5に接合されている。すなわち、フィルタチップ11をモジュール基板2の上面2aに投影した矩形の実装領域内において、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bが信号配線5に接合されている。
On the other hand, the third bump 11b which is a floating bump is not connected to the functional electrode portion 14 and the ground potential. However, the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump is also bonded to the signal wiring 5. That is, the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump is joined to the signal wiring 5 in a rectangular mounting region in which the filter chip 11 is projected onto the upper surface 2 a of the module substrate 2.
本実施形態では、この浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bが、第2のバンプ11fと第1のバンプ11cとの間に挟まれた位置に設けられている。従って、信号配線5は、この矩形の実装領域内において、第1のバンプ11aに接合されている側から、第2のバンプ11fと第1のバンプ11cとの間を通り、電子部品チップ12側に延ばされている。
In the present embodiment, the third bump 11b, which is the floating bump, is provided at a position sandwiched between the second bump 11f and the first bump 11c. Accordingly, the signal wiring 5 passes between the second bump 11f and the first bump 11c from the side bonded to the first bump 11a in the rectangular mounting region, and is on the electronic component chip 12 side. It is extended to.
従来、浮きバンプはグラウンド電位に接続される電極ランドに接合されているのが普通であった。そのため、図1の第3のバンプ11bを電極ランド4や電極ランド3の延長部分に接合することが考えられる。しかしながら、そのような構成では、信号配線5を上記実装領域内において引き回すことが困難となる。例えば、信号配線5を、実装領域外において引き回さねばならなかった。そのため、小型化が困難であった。
Conventionally, floating bumps are usually joined to electrode lands connected to the ground potential. Therefore, it is conceivable to join the third bump 11 b of FIG. 1 to the electrode land 4 or the extended portion of the electrode land 3. However, with such a configuration, it is difficult to route the signal wiring 5 in the mounting area. For example, the signal wiring 5 has to be routed outside the mounting area. Therefore, downsizing has been difficult.
これに対して、モジュール装置1では、実装領域内において信号配線5に上記浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bを接合するように、信号配線5を配置することができる。従って、上記実装領域内における信号配線5の配置の自由度が高められ、小型化を効果的に図ることが可能とされている。
On the other hand, in the module device 1, the signal wiring 5 can be arranged so that the third bump 11b, which is the floating bump, is joined to the signal wiring 5 in the mounting region. Therefore, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the signal wiring 5 in the mounting area is increased, and it is possible to effectively reduce the size.
加えて、上記浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bは、信号配線5にも接合されているため、本実施形態においては、多数のバンプ11a~11fにより、フィルタチップ11のモジュール基板2に対する接合強度も十分に高められている。
In addition, since the third bump 11b, which is the floating bump, is also bonded to the signal wiring 5, in this embodiment, the bonding strength of the filter chip 11 to the module substrate 2 by the large number of bumps 11a to 11f. Is also raised enough.
図4は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係るモジュール装置の略図的平面図である。
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of a module device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
モジュール装置31では、モジュール基板2の上面2a上に、第1の実施形態と同様に、フィルタチップ11が搭載される。フィルタチップ11は、第1の実施形態で用いたフィルタチップ11と同様であり、第1のバンプ11a,11c、第2のバンプ11d,11e,11f及び第3のバンプ11bを有する。モジュール装置31では、フィルタチップ11以外に、複数の電子部品チップ32,33がモジュール基板2の上面2a上に実装されている。電子部品チップ32は、信号電位に接続されるバンプ32aを有する。電子部品チップ33は、信号電位に接続されるバンプ33aを有する。
In the module device 31, the filter chip 11 is mounted on the upper surface 2a of the module substrate 2 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The filter chip 11 is the same as the filter chip 11 used in the first embodiment, and includes first bumps 11a and 11c, second bumps 11d, 11e, and 11f, and a third bump 11b. In the module device 31, in addition to the filter chip 11, a plurality of electronic component chips 32 and 33 are mounted on the upper surface 2 a of the module substrate 2. The electronic component chip 32 has bumps 32a connected to the signal potential. The electronic component chip 33 has bumps 33a connected to the signal potential.
モジュール基板2の上面2a上には、グラウンド電位に接続される電極ランド3,4と、信号電位に接続される信号配線34~36とが設けられている。このうち、信号配線35に、第1のバンプ11aが接合されており、信号配線36に第1のバンプ11cが接合されている。他方、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bは、信号配線34に接合されている。信号配線34は、フィルタチップ11には電気的には接続されていない。信号配線34は、電子部品チップ32と電子部品チップ33とを電気的に接続している。すなわち、バンプ32aとバンプ33aとが、信号配線34により接続されている。
On the upper surface 2a of the module substrate 2, electrode lands 3 and 4 connected to the ground potential and signal wirings 34 to 36 connected to the signal potential are provided. Among these, the first bump 11 a is bonded to the signal wiring 35, and the first bump 11 c is bonded to the signal wiring 36. On the other hand, the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump is joined to the signal wiring 34. The signal wiring 34 is not electrically connected to the filter chip 11. The signal wiring 34 electrically connects the electronic component chip 32 and the electronic component chip 33. That is, the bump 32 a and the bump 33 a are connected by the signal wiring 34.
このように、本発明において、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bは、フィルタチップ11に電気的に接続されていない信号配線34に接合されていてもよい。この場合においても、フィルタチップ11をモジュール基板2の上面2aに投影した実装領域内における信号配線34の配置の自由度を高めることができる。従って、信号配線34の引き回しに余分なスペースを必要としないため、小型化を図ることができる。加えて、上記浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bによっても、フィルタチップ11がモジュール基板2に接合されているため、フィルタチップ11とモジュール基板2の接合強度も十分に高められている。
Thus, in the present invention, the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump may be joined to the signal wiring 34 that is not electrically connected to the filter chip 11. Even in this case, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the signal wirings 34 in the mounting region in which the filter chip 11 is projected onto the upper surface 2a of the module substrate 2 can be increased. Therefore, since no extra space is required for routing the signal wiring 34, the size can be reduced. In addition, since the filter chip 11 is bonded to the module substrate 2 also by the third bump 11b that is the floating bump, the bonding strength between the filter chip 11 and the module substrate 2 is sufficiently increased.
モジュール装置31のように、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bが接合される信号配線34は、フィルタチップ11の他の電子部品チップ32,33同士を接合するものであってもよい。
As in the module device 31, the signal wiring 34 to which the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump is joined may be one that joins the other electronic component chips 32 and 33 to each other in the filter chip 11.
モジュール装置31では、矩形の実装領域の異なる2辺を結ぶように信号配線34が設けられている。すなわち、信号配線34は、上記実装領域内と、実装領域の一辺の外側に延ばされている部分と、他の一辺の外側に延ばされている部分とを有する。電子部品チップ32,33間の、信号配線34による接続長を短くすることによって、小型化をより一層進めることができる。もっとも、信号配線34は、上記実装領域の隣り合う2辺からそれぞれ外側に延ばされている必要は必ずしもない。任意の2辺の外側に延ばされていてもよい。あるいは、実装領域の同じ辺から実装領域外に延ばされていてもよい。すなわち、実装領域の外側に位置する電子部品チップ32や33の位置に応じて、信号配線34が実装領域外に至る位置を選択すればよい。
In the module device 31, signal wirings 34 are provided so as to connect two different sides of the rectangular mounting area. That is, the signal wiring 34 has a portion extending in the mounting area, a portion extending outside one side of the mounting region, and a portion extending outside the other side. By shortening the connection length between the electronic component chips 32 and 33 by the signal wiring 34, the size can be further reduced. However, the signal wiring 34 does not necessarily have to be extended outward from two adjacent sides of the mounting area. It may be extended outside any two sides. Alternatively, it may be extended outside the mounting area from the same side of the mounting area. That is, a position where the signal wiring 34 reaches outside the mounting area may be selected according to the position of the electronic component chips 32 and 33 positioned outside the mounting area.
図5は、本発明の第3の実施形態のモジュール基板に搭載されるフィルタチップの要部を示す正面断面図である。
FIG. 5 is a front sectional view showing the main part of the filter chip mounted on the module substrate of the third embodiment of the present invention.
フィルタチップ41は、圧電基板13を有する。圧電基板13の前述したモジュール基板2に対向する側の主面13a上に、フィルタチップ11と同様に機能電極部14が設けられている。図5では、機能電極部14の一部の電極部分のみが図示されている。この機能電極部14に接合される電極ランド42上に支持層43が設けられている。また、電極ランド44が、誘電体層45を介して主面13a上に設けられている。誘電体層45の誘電率は、圧電基板13の誘電率よりも低い。このような誘電体層45を構成するための材料としては、ポリイミドなどの合成樹脂や、酸化ケイ素などの無機絶縁性材料を適宜用いることができる。
The filter chip 41 has a piezoelectric substrate 13. Similar to the filter chip 11, the functional electrode portion 14 is provided on the main surface 13 a of the piezoelectric substrate 13 on the side facing the module substrate 2 described above. In FIG. 5, only a part of the electrode portion of the functional electrode portion 14 is illustrated. A support layer 43 is provided on the electrode land 42 joined to the functional electrode portion 14. The electrode land 44 is provided on the main surface 13a with the dielectric layer 45 interposed therebetween. The dielectric constant of the dielectric layer 45 is lower than the dielectric constant of the piezoelectric substrate 13. As a material for constituting such a dielectric layer 45, a synthetic resin such as polyimide or an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide can be appropriately used.
この電極ランド44は、機能電極部14に電気的に接続されていない、すなわち浮き電極ランドとして設けられている。
The electrode land 44 is not electrically connected to the functional electrode portion 14, that is, is provided as a floating electrode land.
上記電極ランド44を覆うように、支持層43が設けられている。支持層43上にカバー部材20が設けられている。上記支持層43とカバー部材20とにより、中空部Bが設けられている。機能電極部14は中空部Bに臨んでいる。
A support layer 43 is provided so as to cover the electrode land 44. The cover member 20 is provided on the support layer 43. A hollow portion B is provided by the support layer 43 and the cover member 20. The functional electrode portion 14 faces the hollow portion B.
本実施形態においても、支持層43及びカバー部材20を貫通するように貫通孔が設けられている。この貫通孔内にアンダーバンプメタル層46が設けられている。そして、電極ランド44上のアンダーバンプメタル層46上に、浮きバンプとしての第3のバンプ11bが設けられている。また、信号電位に接続される第1のバンプ11aが電極ランド42に電気的に接続されるように設けられている。このように、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11bが接合されている電極ランド44は、圧電基板13の主面13aに直接接触されておらずともよい。すなわち、他の材料層としての誘電体層45を介して、電極ランド44が圧電基板13の主面13a上に設けられていてもよい。また、好ましくは、本実施形態のように、誘電体層45が他の材料層として用いられる。もっとも、他の材料層としては、誘電体層45以外の材料層を用いてもよい。
Also in this embodiment, a through hole is provided so as to penetrate the support layer 43 and the cover member 20. An under bump metal layer 46 is provided in the through hole. A third bump 11 b as a floating bump is provided on the under bump metal layer 46 on the electrode land 44. Further, the first bump 11 a connected to the signal potential is provided so as to be electrically connected to the electrode land 42. As described above, the electrode land 44 to which the third bump 11b, which is a floating bump, is bonded may not be in direct contact with the main surface 13a of the piezoelectric substrate 13. That is, the electrode land 44 may be provided on the main surface 13a of the piezoelectric substrate 13 via the dielectric layer 45 as another material layer. Further, preferably, the dielectric layer 45 is used as another material layer as in the present embodiment. However, a material layer other than the dielectric layer 45 may be used as the other material layer.
本実施形態のように、誘電体層45が設けられている場合、モジュール装置におけるフィルタ特性を改善することができる。これを、図6を参照して説明する。
When the dielectric layer 45 is provided as in this embodiment, the filter characteristics in the module device can be improved. This will be described with reference to FIG.
図6は、第3の実施形態のモジュール装置におけるフィルタチップによるフィルタ特性を示す図であり、実線が第3の実施形態の結果を示す。また、破線は、上記誘電体層45が設けられていないことを除いては、第3の実施形態と同様に構成されたモジュール装置のフィルタ特性を示す。
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the filter characteristics by the filter chip in the module device of the third embodiment, and the solid line shows the result of the third embodiment. The broken lines indicate the filter characteristics of the module device configured in the same manner as in the third embodiment except that the dielectric layer 45 is not provided.
なお、図6の実線は、誘電体層45としてポリイミドを用いた場合の結果である。図6から明らかなように、誘電体層45としてポリイミドを用いた場合、誘電体層45が設けられていない場合に比べて、通過帯域外における減衰量を十分に小さくし得ることがわかる。これは、誘電体層45の誘電率が圧電基板13の誘電率より低いため、浮きバンプである第3のバンプ11b中に侵入した信号の容量結合による影響を抑制することによると考えられる。よって、好ましくは、上記のように誘電体層45を設けることが望ましい。
The solid line in FIG. 6 is the result when polyimide is used as the dielectric layer 45. As can be seen from FIG. 6, when polyimide is used as the dielectric layer 45, the attenuation outside the passband can be made sufficiently smaller than when the dielectric layer 45 is not provided. This is presumably because the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer 45 is lower than the dielectric constant of the piezoelectric substrate 13, thereby suppressing the influence of capacitive coupling of the signal that has entered the third bump 11 b that is a floating bump. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the dielectric layer 45 as described above.
